A brief History
The Honda Monkey Baja is a playful and off-road-inspired version of the iconic Honda Monkey. Its roots trace back to the legendary Paris-Dakar Rally, where Honda achieved remarkable success with their NXR750. In 1986, Honda designers sketched a mini replica of the NXR750, playfully calling it the “Monkey Dakar.” This sketch eventually evolved into the Monkey Baja, which was officially released in 1991.
